18 May 2011In January our company celebrated the close of a benchmark year, our 25th Anniversary. With our launch into the next quarter century, A Fare already has an exciting announcement to make!

14 Feb 2011In honor of Valentine’s Day, I feel it’s only fitting to showcase a recent bridal shower thrown by A Fare Extraordinaire.
Not only was love the theme of the girly soiree, the colors were pink, pink and pink! When presented with this color scheme, we were more than happy to oblige. Pink grapefruit mimosas with hot pink sugar, [...]

15 Oct 2010Staying on top of our industry trends requires a healthy dose of research, which means doing our fair share of reading, attending interesting events and most importantly, wining and dining. Let me tell you, we’re more than happy to oblige!
While on a recent trip, our very own Rebecca Hughes stumbled upon a goldmine of a dining experience, the details [...]

5 Oct 2010Itching for some artistic culture to spice up your everyday life? Lucky for you, tonight is the opening night for the charming Theatre Under the Stars musical production, Hairspray!
AFE snagged tickets to last night’s dress rehearsal, and it was pretty obvious this group is ready for their October 5-17th run!
The Hobby Center transformed with fantastic builds and lighting, then the actors brought the story to life [...]

28 Sep 2010Do you have a habit of flipping through a cooking/fashion/home decor magazine, finding something you absolutely LOVE then resuming to flip, never to see that beautiful piece of work again?
Well, break that dirty habit! We did, and we couldn’t be happier…Those moments of sheer inspiration don’t belong lost in ancient memory land, they belong on an inspiration board:

24 Sep 2010From the moment we met Audra and Paul, we knew they were a couple that radiated style. They were minimalists at heart, yet weren’t scared off by color, trends or food with flare!

outside looking in
In: Inspiration
21 Sep 2010Every once in a while it’s nice (and even crucial!) to take a step back from your day-to-day business routine and allow someone on the outside to shine some perspective your way… An enlightened glance in the mirror you all too often forget to check.
That was today for A Fare Extraordinaire.
Once a year we call together our Board of Advisors, compiled [...]
flowerless centerpieces
In: Events| Inspiration
17 Sep 2010While crystal and silver vases overflowing with gorgeous, romantic and aromatic flowers may be the traditional way of adorning your dinner table, we realize not all atmospheres (or budgets) permit this type of decor.
Instead of viewing potential floral cuts as a negative problem, view it as a positive challenge to tackle head-on with your arsenal of creativity!

champagne to champ-bang!
In: Events| Food| Inspiration
7 Sep 2010Today, while meeting with a client over an upcoming holiday party, one of our favorite AFE obsessions was revealed…How much we love to jazz up a simple glass of champagne!
Although mimosas and bellinis are the fizzy drinks to coin the trick, both are unfortunately reserved for daylight drinking.
At A Fare, we found a one-two-punch addition that transforms our trusty and [...]
